ABO diurnal boundary

At 07:30 the next morning, Jiang Yu came to visit the doctor on time.

After sleeping for too long, Xie Jing, who was still a little fuzzy in his mind, got up to wash up slowly, and when he came back, he found that Qin Shen had already sat on the seat opposite him.

Qin Shen, who spent the night somewhere, didn't see any wrinkles in his newly changed iron-gray suit, and his plaid tie was solemnly tied to his throat. He didn't see the downcast appearance of sleeping on the sofa in the ward in the middle of the night.

What happened last night may have been completely reversed by him. Seeing that he looked like a normal person, Xie Jingchi was a little bit annoyed and frustrated, even though he himself knew it was unreasonable.

"...Xie Jingchi?"

Xie Jingchi, who was immersed in his subtle emotions, came back to his senses and found that Jiang Yu was talking to him.

"Your." Jiang Yu handed Xie Jingchi's breakfast to him, which was mushroom and beef porridge boiled until the rice grains could not be seen.

Xie Jingchi took a sip, he didn't know whose problem it was with the chef, he always felt a strange bitter taste lingering near the root of his tongue.

Seeing him stirring the bowl with a spoon without appetite, Jiang Yu knew it was not to his liking, and asked him if he wanted a change.

"No need." Xie Jingchi replied briefly.

Jiang Yu wanted to say something else, but Xie Jingchi shook his head resolutely, and he stopped pushing.

After stirring for a long time, the appearance of the porridge in the bowl became worse and worse, Xie Jingchi, who didn't like wasting food, squeezed his nose and forced himself to finish it.

"I'm going to be discharged from the hospital." After breakfast, Xie Jingchi discussed with Qin Shen in a low voice.

Qin Shen, who was reading documents on a tablet, raised his head upon hearing this. There were faint dark circles under his eyes, but his chin was clean-shaven.

It probably has something to do with Qin Shen always giving people a feeling of indifference. Even if he is staring at him so simply at this moment, Xie Jingchi can feel a wordless pressure.

Xie Jingchi inappropriately remembered that this man had a little cleanliness.

Before Xie Jingchi's throat was itchy because of helplessness, Qin Shen looked away, "Are you going to be discharged from the hospital?" There was nothing special in his tone, at most he was just confirming with Xie Jingchi in a business-like manner, whether he really wanted to do this .

Xie Jingchi was a little nervous. When the doctor came to make rounds in the morning, he took his temperature again. It was about the same as at night, still a little over 37 degrees.

It is a fact that the fever has subsided, and it is also a fact that the fever is low. Even so, he nodded and replied firmly, "Well, I'm going to be discharged from the hospital."

"Then I'll take you back later."

Qin Shen's speech was not fast, and there was no unnecessary expression on his face. After making sure that Xie Jingchi had no other questions, he continued to read his documents.

Xie Jingchi turned his face away and looked out the window, Jiang Yu looked at him and then at Qin Shen, although he didn't know what happened, but he made the most correct decision at the moment, "Then I'll go through the discharge procedures."

As an assistant to the chairman of the board, Jiang Yu's work ability is naturally impeccable, and he completed all the procedures required for discharge from the hospital in 10 minutes.

The Qin family's driver was waiting downstairs, and Xie Jingchi saw his iconic bald head shining under the sun from a long distance away.

There is a lot of space in the car, more than enough to accommodate five or six adults. Xie Jingchi and Qin Shen are so close that he can almost feel Qin Shen's body temperature more than ten centimeters away. It is very hot and warm, just like Qin Shen last night. Just like hugging him when he went downstairs, it made him feel safe.

Jiang Yu occupied the front passenger seat, and occasionally turned around to talk to Qin Shen about work matters. His voice was very soft, and fell on Xie Jingchi's ears like gnats.

According to Jiang Yu's report, Qin Shen had a meeting at 03:30 in the morning, met with bank representatives at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and attended a charity dinner in the evening.

The essence of the morning rush hour traffic in this city is that every road is blocked. Most of Xie Jingchi's face was buried in the checked scarf that Jiang Yu brought him. The scarf was very soft. He was very tired. Intermittently fell into lethargy under the double effect of .

On the way, he opened his eyes and glanced out the window. He saw the iconic redbud flower sign of Yaotai Department Store, and recognized that this was the way back to Qiwen Mountain.

With such a strong wind last night, he thought it was a cold wave counterattack and the sky would change, but it turned out to be a sunny day with thousands of miles of sun.

White clouds dotted the blue sky, and the bright sunlight shone in from a 45-degree angle. Xie Jingchi didn't like such a bright light, so he unconsciously hid in the opposite direction.

"Don't want to go back?"

Qin Shen's voice sounded above his head, and Xie Jingchi's fingers in his pocket slowly curled up into a loose fist.

He didn't know how Qin Shen came to such a conclusion, but what was wrong was that he really didn't really want to go back to Qiwen Mountain.

But he won't tell Qin Shen any of this.

Qin Shen's time and warmth are very precious things, and they need to be exchanged for actual benefits.

From last night to today, he made many requests to Qin Shen based on their nominal marriage contract, and Qin Shen satisfied him one by one. He didn't think he was qualified to ask endlessly, so the most likely answer was that he even Next year's share has been completely overdrawn.

Seeing that he was silent, Qin Shen hummed, "Going to live with that classmate's house again?"

Clouds floated over to cover the sun, Xie Jingchi obviously felt the heat on his cheeks subside a little.

"Maybe." He replied casually.

Going to Lu Xu's house to borrow is a very tempting proposal, and if he really said that to Lu Xu, Lu Xu would definitely not refuse.

Lu Xu's family is a very ordinary family. His father works outside the home, his mother is a full-time housewife, and his younger sister is studying in the junior high school of their school. The family lives together happily and beautifully. It is exactly the family composition Xie Jingchi imagined.

He couldn't tell whether he and Lu Xu had been friends for so long because of Lu Xu himself or because he had such a perfect family.

He thought so far away that he didn't notice the expression Qin Shen was using to observe himself.

"Until you recover from your illness, you can stay at my house. My guest room is vacant." Qin Shen said in a compromising tone, "I basically won't come back except at night."

Unexpectedly, Qin Shen would say that, Xie Jingchi blinked.He thought that his current expression must be very dull, because what Qin Shen said was completely beyond his cognition.

In the past few years, all the communication between him and Qin Shen was limited to the courtesy meetings on holidays, and neither of them ever got too deep into each other's life.

He didn't know where Qin Shen lived or whether he was alone. He just waited for Qin Shen's occasional appearance.

And he vaguely remembered that the last time he heard that he was going to live at a classmate's house, Qin Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

Since you are so afraid of being entangled by him, why invite him to step into your private space?

Qin Shen was still waiting for his answer, and he didn't immediately regret it as Xie Jingchi thought—probably because he had said all the words, it would not be nice to regret.

"Okay." Xie Jingchi took a quick look at Qin Shen, hesitated, and then nodded, "Thank you."

Qin Shen half-closed his eyes and said after a long time, "It's nothing."

For the rest of the journey, Xie Jingchi didn't speak a word to him again.

The feeling of being sympathized is not as bad as he thought, but it is not very good either. Xie Jingchi thought for a long time and finally came to this conclusion.

Qin Shen felt that he was very pitiful. In fact, he did look a little pitiful, so even though he really didn't want to, even if he hated being disturbed by irrelevant people, he still showed mercy and let him live in his home.

Squeezing heavily on the organs in his chest, Xie Jingchi clenched his fingers in his pockets, his nails deeply embedded in his skin, until he could breathe again.

If there is no traffic jam, the hospital is less than 10 minutes away from Qiwen Mountain. If there is a traffic jam, an error of about [-] minutes will be added.

On a sunny day, the lake surrounding the foot of the mountain is shining like a mirror, but Xie Jingchi can only think of the wet mist on the dark marble and the drawing paper hanging by the window that will never dry.

This golden and jade-like house is full of damp atmosphere everywhere, as if it was invaded by something crawling up from the bottom of the lake, which is unlucky.

Xie Mingyao and Fang Rujun were not at home, and the servants just pretended not to see him when he came back, and no one took the initiative to say hello to him.

Xie Jingchi entered his room, found the suitcase, and simply put a few clothes in it, followed by inhibitors and barrier agents.

He squatted on the ground and tried his best to arrange the things in the box as neatly as possible. As a result, when he stood up, his eyes turned black, and he was almost tripped by his own steps.

Most of the space in the box was occupied by his trivial daily necessities, and at this moment he finally had a sense of reality.

Soon he will go to Qin Shen's house to borrow.

As long as he wasn't here, he collapsed on the bed and buried his face in the pillow.

The smooth and cold touch of the cotton cloth was against his thin skin, and the fresh smell of detergent briefly overwhelmed the strong fishy smell of the lake outside.

Every windy day, he dared not open the window. He feared and even hated the smell, as if something was quietly rotting away.

If Qin Shen hadn't called to ask if he was alright, he thought he might just fall asleep like this.

Before closing the suitcase, he hesitated for a long time, and finally he grabbed the plush toy on the bedside.

The older stuffed otter has lost most of its long soft brown-gray fur, and even a small piece of its tail is bald.

Facing those small eyes that were cloudy and dull, Xie Jingchi almost forgot how naive they used to be.

Xie Jingchi hugged it in his arms, the slender fluff pressed against his cheeks, as if through its slender body he could gain comfort from another person who was no longer there.

"I, we're leaving..."

The inanimate toy otter looked back quietly, as in the past ten years, no one responded.
